I have found information and ads dating back to the 80's if you can't find it then it simply isn't there.

No American media ever uses "nature calls" for periods. Action, sci-fi, comedy, etc. I have heard natures friend, natures gift. DMC was never low brow enough to go for such easy sterotypes.

No woman in my life has ever referred to their period with "nature calls." For that reason anecdotal evidence has little value.

Historically/officially "nature calls" is about peeing since at least the 1800's, so any other use is technically wrong. Even Merriam-Webster, the people who make dictionaries describes the call of nature as the need to use the bathroom.

Contextually it makes more sense to be about peeing. Lets replace Nature calls with the actual meaning and what you think it means.

"Gotta pee? It's in the back"

It would refer to the bathroom, the solution to the problem of having to pee.

"PMS'ing? It's in the back"

Whats in the back? A tampon? A pad? Why would Dante have only one of either of those things. Hes a guy and they come in packs. Pointing out the bathroom wouldn't make sense, because it doesn't solve the problem.

After busting down the door Trish calmly walks in and looks about, so Dante assuming shes angry from PMS doesn't make sense either. She lacks the urgency to imply that whatever problem she has can not be postponed.
